Chapter 184: Yuan Shu temporarily retreats
"Yang Zhai City, it won't be lost, and it can't be lost!" Ye Mo looked at Zhu Yu with both eyes, and his tone was unusually strict. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] If Yang Zhai City is lost now, it is not a question of the Han Dynasty changing hands, but Ye Mo himself may die here. Now it's not as good as before, now Ye Mo's strength has increased greatly, but he can't just die, and it's meaningless to die.
Zhu Yu looked at Ye Mo's eyes, but for some reason he felt a little guilty in his heart, so he could only laugh awkwardly and said, "Zhu Yu is falling, it was General Huang who was released from prison." Don't know what your name is? β
Ye Mo looked at Zhu Yu, but quickly turned his head, looked at the dead soldiers on the city wall, and said, "In Xia Ye Mo, I didn't expect that the people who guarded Yangzhai City were actually released from prison. Ye Mo really didn't expect that under the siege of Yuan Shu, Huang Cong would be able to defend Yangzhai City. What I didn't expect was that Huang Cong would release people from prison to defend the city, and the key thing was that Huang Cong really picked out a few people with some ability.
It's just that Zhu Yu was embarrassed when he heard Ye Mo say this. At this time, Zhu Yu thought that the person Ye Mo said was released from prison. Just as Zhu Yu opened his mouth and wanted to express his modesty, Ye Mo spoke again.
Ye Mo looked back at Zhu Yu and said, "That, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to laugh at you, I was talking about another person." β
After listening to Ye Mo's words, Zhu Yu swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach. Looking at Ye Mo, Zhu Yu was embarrassed at the moment, and could only put an extremely ugly smile on his face. Zhu Yu's heart is surging with anger at the moment, and the fashionable point is that countless grass and mud horses are rushing through Zhu Yu's heart.
Ye Mo didn't care what Zhu Yu was thinking at this time, but after resting for a while, he stood up again, walked to the middle of the north city wall, looked at the defenders who were also very tired, and said, "Brothers, our reinforcements are already on the way, as long as we can hold it until dark, Yuan Shu's army will definitely retreat." Tomorrow, our reinforcements will arrive! β
Those defenders looked at Ye Mo, but they couldn't lift their spirits one by one, if Yuan Shu hadn't ordered the slaughter of the city, they would have stopped guarding it a long time ago. And the more than 100 forbidden troops on the north city wall are now only more than 30 people, although these people are the elite of the Han Dynasty, but in the face of such a dangerous situation, they also have no spirit.
Ye Mo didn't feel embarrassed when he saw that none of these people responded to him, but a cloud of anger rose in his heart. Those people and Zhuang didn't think that they could defend Yangzhai City, but those Praetorian Guards couldn't think so. What is a Praetorian Guard? The Praetorian Guard is the elite of the elite of the Han army, and it is a tiger!
Ye Mo walked up to the more than thirty Praetorian Guards, looked at them, and shouted: "You all raise your heads and look at these people around you, they were originally ordinary people, but they still stood here." They were afraid, they wouldn't have been in this place at that time! But what about you? Don't forget who you are! β
After those people listened to Ye Mo's words, some of them were blushing by what Ye Mo said, but some of them didn't care. "My lord, we are all abandoned by the imperial court. We, General Huang, were released from death row, and we were specially selected. The court doesn't care about us anymore, so why do we have to work for the court. β
After listening to the guard's words, all of them had puzzled or panicked faces on their faces. If what this person said was true, wouldn't that mean that the imperial court had abandoned Yang Zhai? Otherwise, how could someone be selected from death row to be the commander of the army sent by the imperial court?
Ye Mo looked at the people around him, and immediately said to those people: "Don't worry, everyone, the reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive tomorrow." The imperial court will never give up Yang Zhai, Yang Zhai is the barrier of the Sili region, if Yang Zhai is captured by Yuan Shu's army, Yuan Shu can use Yang Zhai to attack Sili at any time. β
Ye Mo knew that just talking about when the imperial court's reinforcements would arrive would not be able to appease these people at all, and only by telling them how important Yangzhai City was to the imperial court, they could believe that the imperial court would not give up Yang Zhai.
After everyone listened to Ye Mo's words, they didn't think much about it, and they believed Ye Mo's words. The people of Dahan are like this, they don't know much, they can only believe the official words, now Ye Mo can stand in front of everyone and speak, for them, Ye Mo is the official person.
"Humph! That's a nice thing to say. "The guard who said that the imperial court had abandoned Yang Zhai City had spoken at this time. He just felt that they were abandoned by the imperial court, and he opened his mouth to target Ye Mo, regardless of whether what Ye Mo said was right or wrong.
Ye Mo walked up to the guard and asked with a cold face, "You, what's your name?" β
The janissary looked at Ye Mo's eyes, but his heart was a little empty. But the janissary thought that he couldn't be intimidated, so he took a step forward and said, "Lao Tzu Cen Kong, what's the matter?" β
Ye Mo looked at Cen Kong, nodded, took a step back, and said to the people around Cen Kong: "Pull him out and cut the sacrificial flag for me." β
"Hahahaha......" Cen Kong looked at Ye Mo and immediately laughed: "Who do you think you are?" He actually said that he was going to see my sacrifice flag, what a joke! And the people on both sides of Cen Kong also stood still, they didn't know Ye Mo's identity, how could they kill their comrades-in-arms because they were casually alone?
Ye Mo looked at the people around Cen Kong, and found that these two people hadn't moved yet, so he shouted loudly: "What? Didn't what Captain Ben said work? β
At this time, everyone was shocked, this person who stood on the city wall of Yangzhai to inspire everyone turned out to be the captain of the dynasty, how could it be?
At this moment, someone pointed to the outside of the city and excitedly shouted: "Look, the enemy has retreated!" β
When everyone heard that voice, they all looked out of the city, and sure enough, Yuan Shujun outside the city was slowly retreating towards the back. While everyone was cheering, Ye Mo walked to the edge of the city wall, he was worried that this was Yuan Shujun's trick. But after watching it for a long time, he didn't find anything wrong.
And among those guards, Cen Kong was trembling. He originally thought that Ye Mo was not a big man, but the imperial court really did not give up on Yang Zhai, and the reinforcements sent would arrive tomorrow, and he was not afraid. After all, in their eyes at the beginning, Ye Mo was just a messenger of the imperial court. But what he didn't expect was that Ye Mo turned out to be the captain of the dynasty.
This is also to blame Ye Mo for not showing his identity at the beginning, if Ye Mo revealed his identity as soon as he opened it, then where would Cen Kong dare to speak wildly. In addition, at the beginning, when Ye Mo came to speak to inspire everyone, he looked disgraced, and he still had injuries on his hands, how could they think that this was the captain of the dynasty?
Not long after, Dian Wei and Huang Cong rushed to the north city wall, and after seeing Ye Mo, Huang Cong directly gave a military salute and said: "The sin general has seen Lord Taiwei, and the sin general is wearing military armor, and it is inconvenient to salute, and I hope that Lord Taiwei will forgive his sins." β
"It doesn't matter, General Huang has defended Yang Zhai and worked hard, I will definitely tell the Holy Lord to restore General FΓΉ's official position." When Ye Mo saw Huang Cong saluting, he raised his hands and asked Huang Cong to be exempt.
It's just that when Ye Moxu raised his hands, the wounds on his hands were seen by Huang Cong and Dian Wei. Dian Wei was shocked and said, "Lord, are you injured?!" β
"It's okay to have a small injury." Ye Mo patted Dian Wei to reassure him. Then he asked: "I just saw Yuan Shu's army retreating, I don't know if it has anything to do with you?" β
Hearing Ye Mo ask, Huang Cong glanced at Dian Wei and wanted Dian Wei to say it, but Dian Wei only cared about Ye Mo's injury, and he didn't see Huang Cong's eyes at all, and even if he saw it, he would ignore it. Seeing this, Huang Cong could only speak.
It turned out that before Dian Wei led people over, Yuan Shu's army had already attacked the city wall. However, Dian Wei had already appeared with five hundred two-handed swordsmen, and he killed Yuan Shu's army. Yuan Shu didn't want his previous efforts to come to naught, so he sent people to rush to kill, but he didn't succeed several times, and Yuan Shu was worried that there were still hidden troops in the city, so he could only temporarily retreat.
"Lord, you go down and deal with your wounds first." After Huang Cong finished speaking, Ye Mo also wanted Huang Cong to pay attention to the movements of Yuan Shu's army, and Yang Zhai couldn't lose it before the reinforcements arrived. But Dian Wei had been worried about the injury on Ye Mo's arm, so he urged.
"Good, good." couldn't bear Dian Wei's urging, Ye Mo could only agree. But before going down the city wall, Ye Mo pointed at Cen Kong and said to Huang Cong: "General Huang, like that kind of scum, kill the sacrificial flag, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the guards." βxh118
